Ideas for swaps other than a V8.

Hehehe..

I've been into the 2.3T's for about 8 years. I built a 14-second full-weight (3800#) Turbo Coupe among others.

I have a 2.3T that I'm putting together for a guy in Indiana. He has the 1987 Watkins Glen Pace Car, it's an 87 Turbo Coupe. It's getting a bigger cam, bigger turbo, porting, etc, etc, but it's all going to look factory restoration concourse stock. Basically it will put out about 280-300HP and look completely original from the engine bay (you'll be able to see the larger turbo and exhaust from underneath).

It's my last hurrah at 2.3's. It took FIVE "good" turbo heads to get this one together.
